lovely

The weekend was really lovely... busy, but low-key all at the same time. It was enjoyable, and I'm looking forward to another low-key weekend next week before our crazy driving to Ohio weekend after that.

Saturday I had a hair appointment... so Gwen and I headed out in the morning, stopping first to see my Gram. Then heading to my parents, before going to my hair appointment, where I decided to go for the pixie cut that I've been eying up all along.

That evening, after I put Gwen to bed, I got a little gussied up and headed to a coworker's birthday party in the city. It was nice to get out a little, and great to hang out with my super fun coworkers in the more informal setting.

Sunday was Mother's Day, of course, and while we didn't do anything super different, it was a really nice day. Trav made me french toast. Gwen got me a card and a book that we can read together, Trav got me a card and some fun Lehigh rain boots. All I really wanted to do was take a walk down to the park and play with my girl. So that's what we did. The four of us strolled down to the park where Daisy sniffed around while Gwen rode the swing and went down the slide.

The weather was beautiful... we lucked out there. After that Gwen took a nap and I hung out, while Trav helped our neighbor with his tennis camp. Ro, Pat, and GG came over late afternoon and stayed for dinner. It was relaxing and fun, and I loved seeing them.

The girls colored and played really nicely together. There were a few "Mine!" moments, but for the most part they shared really well.

Such sweeties.

Ro is 38 weeks now, so GG will be a big sister anytime!! I can't wait to meet the newest little one.

After they took off, Trav and I relaxed with Gwen and tried to get her settled for bed... she was a bit wound up! But it was a great day, and a great weekend.

Back to the grind today though. At least we have no events this week, so it should be a little more relaxing. Back to work for me though!
